Apple Fritter Bread

by 40 Comments

This quick bread comes together in no time and is a cross between cake and an apple fritter. Whether enjoyed for breakfast, a snack, or an evening sweet treat, this will be a new favorite!

Now that apple season is here, I have been buying lots of apples to keep in the house. My kids LOVE eating sliced apples with peanut butter, and I love throwing them in my morning smoothies.

Last week, I bought a huge bag of apples since they were on sale, and by the end of the week, we only had two left. I decided to set those aside and make a yummy, new recipe with them. Since my hubby loves apple fritters, I wanted to try this bread out. Not only was it packed with flavor, but it literally tasted just like a fritter, only in bread form.

The bread is a cross between cake and apple fritters. You could enjoy a slice with your morning cup of coffee, or as a sweet treat later in the day.

With Fall among us, this bread is a must try, 🙂

    Oh awesome! Let us know what you think of it! My hubby brought some to work and everyone went crazy over it, so hopefully its a hit with you too!! 😉

    I made this just a hour ago and was not impressed.
    Your ingredients say brown sugar and I always use dark brown sugar and so wonder if this might have been my problem. I added pecans and it turned out like a cottage pudding and wish I’d made a vanilla sauce.
    Also there is not a place where I could print it.

  10. Kristin

    Oh no 🙁
    I am so sorry it didn’t turn out good! I use dark brown sugar too 🙁
    There should be a print button for the recipe on the bottom of the post, near the “pin it” buttons. I will go take a look to make sure those features are still working.
    Again, I am so sorry it didn’t turn out good, what a bummer!

    Made this this afternoon in two small loaf pans. I didn’t change a thing and the mini loafs can out beautiful about 3 inches tall. I will double the recipe next time to make 4 loafs. Might use buttermilk and add pecan chips. This is going in my recipe file.

    Oh awesome! Great idea on making mini loaves!! I bet pecans and buttermilk would be a great addition to this recipe!! Good thinking!! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂

    Love this bread. I have made it many times since last month. It’s actually my first ever baked product. I see it as my first ever step towards becoming a chef. So thank you very much!!

    making this later today , however I’m looking at the brown sugar and cinnamon topping and thinking seems such a small amount for such med loaf , also saw a typo somewhere online with the same recipie that called for 1 1/2 cups vanilla I was like to much vanilla so was glad I looked around and saw the same recipie , how small do you cut your apples would smaller diced up apple work or do I need bigger chunks like in apple pie , thanks

  26. Kristin

    Hi!! The amounts are correct for the brown sugar/cinnamon. It is more of a streusel than topping! As for the apple size, a small chunk is great!! Hope you enjoy this!!

    I just finished making this recipe into muffins. I didn’t divide it really well so they are a bit lopsided but I just had one (couldn’t wait for them to cool) and they are delicious. I wasn’t sure how long to bake them as muffins but 25 minutes seemed to do it. Next time I will make as a loaf as it would be easier. Thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂

    made this recipe, not a big fan! too many steps and dishes. Bread was too sweet, the texture was not right. I put the double batch down garbage disposal. I will say I read the recipe wrong and missed 2 small steps and also used Dark Brown Sugar. I will try again for 1 loaf and pray it turns out. nIfnit does Imwill re-post
